Chapter 496: The Battle of Lugou Bridge
The person who is looking for this is Fan Wencheng. Just as he couldn't get ahead among the many scholars in the Ming Dynasty, he abandoned the Ming Dynasty and ran to the slave chief to beg bitterly.
For such a person, if he meets him in private, Chongzhen will definitely fall with a knife and fall to the ground.
After the spy war, Jin failed to do it, but made several upright counter-plots, making his life in the Jurchens unsatisfactory for a million. Even his wife had to be contributed, and he was sought up and down.
What chilled Zhou Yuji and the others the most was that he had to send it and pick it up in person.
Nodding his head, he prostrated on the ground like a slave and kissed the tips of his Eight Banners' master's boots.
How can a dignified scholar fall to such a level, how can he not make people's hair stand upside down?
"How is that possible! The Jurchens know more about the Ming Kingdom, but the Ming Kingdom does not know the Jurchens! It's only been a few years, why is this situation like a reversal? Who brought about this change? Sun Chengzong? Yuan Chonghuan? ”
"Nope! Not them! That's the apocalypse? Is it King Shin who has just completed the murder of his brother and seized power? ”
"Nope! Surely it wasn't them! So who is it? Who is it! Could it be the locust that is already old? ”
Suddenly, Fan Wencheng's heart flashed, his eyes captured the most critical place like his heart, and he pointed to a certain place on the map and shouted excitedly: "I found it!" Great Khan, I found it! Lugou Bridge! At the Lugou Bridge! ”
"Don't scream! Don't wake up the Great Khan! Huang Taiji's personal guards who used to spy on Fan Wencheng immediately glared at him. There was also "Mr. Fan is long, Mr. Fan is short", but when the looting is at the head, the savage nature is undoubtedly revealed.
Fan Wencheng instead shrank his head like a king, and said happily: "The Great Khan finally fell asleep? Good! All right! ”
"It's not all you're useless! Tell me about it, what are you looking for? As for this shouting? ”
"Lugou Bridge! Lugou Bridge! Fan Wencheng, who hadn't closed his eyes for several days, loosened his heartstrings and became drowsy.
"What's the Lugou Bridge and not the Lugou Bridge, you slave quickly explain it to Lao Tzu!" This disciple of the Eight Banners of the Yellow Banner, who is as strong as Aobai, picked up Fan Wencheng, who was tall and thin.
Fan Wencheng didn't resist at all, and even his two arms hung down naturally, yawning and begging, "You just let me sleep for a while!" ”
The Lord of the Eight Banners enjoys the nodding of the slave all day long, and what he looks down on the most is this kind of unscrupulous behavior, and said angrily: "Sleep hair, sleep!" If you can't capture the Jingshi of the Ming Kingdom, you don't want to sleep! Get out of here and get to work! ”
Fan Wencheng muttered in a low voice: "I have long said that the capital division is not suitable for attack, let's grab a sum in the north and turn around, so as to consume the strength of the Ming Kingdom, and wait until the time comes......"
Before he finished speaking, he was violently shaken: "Shut up! That's what you dog slave can say? Believe it or not, if the Great Khan learns of your words, he will immediately behead you, a minion! ”
"Gaffes! It's my gaffe! I will give you money, and you must not tell the Great Khan! ”
"Lao Tzu is the flag man of the yellow flag, will you care about your silver? It is said that your wife ......"
"Understood! I understand, sir, don't worry......" Fan Wencheng, who used to be tired of this, suddenly felt a little disgusted with his appearance.
"Lao Tzu is here to grovel? Is this move really the right move? ”
"Is it true that no matter what kind of contribution Lao Tzu makes, he can't be recognized by the flag man? In the eyes of these people, Lao Tzu is a slave? Lao Tzu gave up his identity as a scholar of the Ming Dynasty, why did he bother? ”
Fan Wencheng, a once extremely determined minion, suddenly became extremely confused.
Counting this first day, for three consecutive days, Huangtai Jidu ordered all the kings and generals under his command to attack Guangqumen very urgently.
Man Gui and Hou Shilu did their best, and with the support of the artillery fire at the head of the city, they struggled to survive.
In addition, three battalions of soldiers were closely stationed at the rest of the city gates, so that Huang Taiji had no opportunity to take advantage of.
Huang Taiji made a posture of not giving up if he did not break through the Guangqu Gate, but in the early morning of the fourth day, he suddenly turned his gun and drove his troops straight to the Lugou Bridge, launching a rapid attack on Zu Dashou.
In a casual conversation discussing the generals of the world, in the face of the apocalypse's question, Chongzhen once made the following evaluation of Zu Dashou: "This guy is good at everything, especially good at defending the city. The only bad thing is that no matter where you go, the first thing that comes to mind is to stick to it, not to forge ahead. Jinzhou, Dalinghe Fort, it is better than that. ”
Sure enough, after Zu Dashou was sent by Yuan Chonghuan to Lugou Bridge to station, he immediately set up camp and made a stubborn posture. Secretly, the trench was dug in eight vertical and eight horizontal, and the Lugou Bridge almost collapsed.
The river and the first melt of ice and snow were brought into these trenches, but there was still a thick layer of snow on both sides of the ditches.
At first glance, you really can't see it.
So Fan Wencheng searched hard, Huang Taiji made a quick decision, and the surprise attack plan formulated under the guise of storming Guangqu Gate opened with countless Jurchen cavalry falling into the ditch.
"Kill! Kill! ”
On the side of the Lugou Bridge, shouting to kill the sky, there is very little artillery fire, and the stones are extinct, only the arrow rain is like locusts, and the sound of fire is interspersed.
In the same evaluation of the armies in the world, Chongzhen once made the following evaluation of the Guanning Army: "This is a border garrison that combines cold and hot weapons the most skillfully after the Qi Army, blocking Jiannu, worthy of the Iron Army!" ”
In the original history, Zu Dashou, who had been captured alive by Jiannu, surrendered and fled back to Jinzhou to continue to hold on.
After the outer city of Jinzhou was breached, it continued to hold on to the inner city.
It wasn't until the Songjin Battle that Hong Chengchou was defeated that he killed Sun Zushou and surrendered out of the city.
Now the situation is very urgent, but for Daming, there is a tendency to be reborn, and Zu Dashou has no reason to surrender.
He led the Guanning warriors, mainly the generals of Liaoxi, to fight bloodily, and dyed the white snow red.
If you look down from a high altitude, by the Lugou Bridge, the earth is like being ploughed by the nail rake of Bajie, crisscrossing and criss-crossing.
Huang Taiji personally led the army to raid, but finally failed to capture the garrison of Guan Ning's army of King Guan Qin.
Outside the Guangqu Gate, Man Gui and Hou Shilu did not rush to support because they received the military information of "Lugou Bridge Emergency". Yuan Chonghuan led the extremely mobile Guanning Iron Cavalry, and watched silently from the high ground in the distance.
None of the gates of the Ming Jing Division were opened, and not a single soldier was sent to participate in the battle.
Zhao Shujiao and Zhang Pan only launched a formation on the other side of the Lugou Bridge to suppress the formation for Zu Dashou.
How fortunate Huang Taiji was to despise the separate battles between the Ming armies, so that he made countless contributions in the battles of Salhu, Liaoyang, and Hunhe. So how much hatred there is at this time, and at the same time, I hope that the other Ming troops can be rescued.
Once these Ming troops get out of the military camp that has been in operation for several days or even longer, then he, Huang Taiji, the great Tiancong Khan, who took over the baton from the Mandate of Heaven, will be able to carry out the plan of encircling the point and sending reinforcements, "attacking them halfway".
